What Does 24-Hour Nursing Care Involve?
In a nursing community, 24-hour care goes beyond basic assistance. Our nursing staff regularly check vital signs, track symptoms, and watch for changes in residents' health. This proactive approach allows for early detection of potential problems and ensures prompt medical intervention can be delivered when needed.
Many residents and guests in short- and long-term care rely on multiple medications and strict administration protocols. Residents and guests in 24-hour nursing may require specific doses at precise times and vigilant monitoring for potential side effects or drug interactions. Ciena Healthcare’s nursing professionals regularly handle complex medication management tasks.
Our nursing staff also provides rehabilitation care for guests recovering from surgery or illness, including wound care, mobility assistance, and coordination with physical therapists. Our nursing protocols are tailored to each guest’s unique needs, with the goal of helping guests regain strength and independence safely.
Every member of our 24-hour nursing staff is trained to manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and COPD, as well as complications experienced by residents and guests with co-existing conditions. By offering ongoing care and education, they help long-term care residents and rehabilitation guests manage symptoms, adhere to treatment plans, and avoid hospital readmissions.
Services Provided by 24-Hour Nursing Staff
Personal Care Assistance: Nurses and CNAs help with activities of daily living (ADLs) like bathing, dressing, and eating.
Wound Care: For residents or guests with surgical wounds, pressure sores, or chronic conditions that require careful wound management, our nursing staff provides regular care and monitoring to prevent infection and promote healing.
Fall Prevention and Safety: Falls are a common concern in senior care and rehabilitation settings. The nursing staff in Ciena Healthcare communities conduct regular safety assessments to keep environments free from hazards. They also offer mobility assistance to prevent falls during daily activities.
Coordination with Other Medical Providers: Ciena Healthcare’s nursing staff acts as a link between residents, guests in rehabilitation, families, and doctors. They communicate any changes in health status, assist with medical appointments, and strictly adhere to prescribed medication regimens and treatments.
Nutritional Support: Proper nutrition is necessary for maintaining health, especially in elderly residents and guests in short-term nursing and rehabilitation. Our nursing staff assists with dietary planning, monitors for signs of malnutrition, and works with dietitians to address specific dietary needs.
Pressure Ulcer Prevention: Our nursing staff routinely repositions residents with limited mobility and assesses skin integrity to prevent the formation of pressure ulcers.
Pain Management: Residents recovering from surgery or other chronic conditions benefit from timely and consistent pain management.
Strict Infection Protocol: Our nursing staff follows strict hygiene protocols and are constantly on the lookout for signs of infection.
Post-Surgery Recovery: After a hospital stay or surgery, people often need continuous care to manage pain, monitor wounds, adhere to recovery plans, and safely perform activities of daily living. 24-hour nursing care offers a smooth transition from hospital to home.
Advanced Age or Frailty: As residents age, they may require more attentive mobility assistance and help with personal care and medication management. Nursing care provides the additional support required for continued safety. The regular presence of our nursing staff helps reduce the negative cognitive and health effects associated with persistent loneliness.
Chronic or Complex Medical Conditions: Conditions like heart failure, diabetes, COPD, or dementia often require ongoing monitoring and treatment adjustments. With nurses and CNAs available around the clock, residents receive the continuous care they need.
